Permits

1.         If the permit holder is not to be present on the site at all times then SAHRA must be provided with the names and qualifications of the authorised representatives.

2.         The permit holder must contract a qualified archaeologist / palaeoanthropologist to monitor activities on site during filming. A local guide, as recommended by the local Heritage Authority, should also be contracted to advise and assist with monitoring. We understand that you have requested Colin Menter’s help and you may make arrangements for him to monitor. Please also arrange for the local guide Mr James Baloyi (phone 0847915112) to be on site at all times when your crew is on site.

3.         The applicant shall undertake to adhere to the following in order to ensure as little damage to the site as possible:

• the archaeologist / palaeonthropologist and local guide must be consulted prior to activities commencing on site to advise on any archaeologically sensitive areas which must be avoided;
• the use of any heavy equipment used on site, which may cause damage to the site should be discussed with the monitors prior to filming, to allow for alternative solutions to be assessed;
• the amount of traffic, ie. numbers of people on site, should be minimized as much as possible to avoid excessive disturbance of the site.

4.         A report must be submitted to SAHRA on or before 1 April 2005. We would be delighted if a copy of the film were to be included as reference to the report for the SAHRA Library. SAHRA reserves the right to withhold further permits if activities are not deemed satisfactory.

5.         It is the responsibility of the permit holder to obtain permission from the landowner for each visit, and conditions of access imposed by the landowner must be observed.

6.         It is the responsibility of the permit holder to protect sites during and after filming to the satisfaction of SAHRA and the landowner.

7.         SAHRA shall not be liable for any losses, damages or injuries to persons or properties as a result of any activities in connection with this permit.

8.         SAHRA reserves the right to cancel this permit by notice to the permit holder.
